resentment smoldering within
their breasts, but revenge was
sweet when these same students
had the happy opportunity of
watching these same vandals or
their duly elected representatives
removing these awful blots from
our fair campus. That was cer
tainly a terrible thing to do
(darn it, why didn’t we think of
it first).
